- Check the version of PKunzip you are using.
-
- If it's only 1.1 it won't be able to read the zip files you made on the Vax,
- because it is a newer version (1.9).
- The sources are included for MSDOS in the saveset, so if you have a C
- compiler you can use them. Check Archie for the executables if you don't.
